By Jane Mlambo| Former cabinet minister who is now in self imposed exile, Walter Mzembi has warned MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa against participating in the 2023 elections without reforms, saying they will be rigged in favor of Zanu PF.

Responding to Chamisa’s tweet where he congratulated New Zealand Prime Minister on his re-election, Mzembi was quick to draw parallels with Zimbabwe’s political terrain which he said is being run by the military who have taken control of the ruling Zanu PF party.

“A Military Junta will not hold free & fair elections or guarantee them , Zim is the only country in the world where the Military have captured a Political Party , Zanu PF. Should we expect a fair contest ? 2023 without Reforms is a fallacy, Vanokubira futi!,’ said Mzembi.

Chamisa had posted the message below;

“So humbling and refreshing to see others holding clean,free and fair elections.Huge Congrats to @jacindaardern and @nzlabour on a re-election as New Zealand PM. Looking forward to continued engagement based on shared hope and vision for a just, happier and more prosperous world.”

Mzembi has previously formed a political party in exile before jumping off it, to claim that he is still a member of Zanu PF together with another self exiled former cabinet minister Savior Kasukuwere.
